Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:40:55 GMT

Spend enough time with ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence chatbots and it doesn’t take long for them to spout falsehoods.Described as hallucination, confabulation or just plain making things up, it’s now a problem for every business, organization and high school student trying to get a generative AI system to compose documents and get work done. Some are using it on tasks with the potential for high-stakes consequences, from psychotherapy to researching and writing legal briefs.“I don’t think that there’s any model today that that doesn’t suffer from some hallucination,” said Daniela Amodei, co-founder and president of Anthropic, maker of the chatbot Claude 2.“They’re really just sort of designed to predict the next word,” Amodei said. “And so there will be some rate at which the model does that inaccurately.”Anthropic, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and other major developers of AI systems known as large language models say they’re working to ...

Ask Amy: His teasing has gotten mean, and he won’t stop

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:40:55 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband has always had a creative and witty sense of humor, and we have spent many hours in our decade-long marriage laughing until our eyes water. I love the fact that he has the ability to make people laugh.Over the past few years, he has gone from poking fun at me in an actual funny way to him just being creatively mean.One example of his humor: He will pretend he’s limping, dragging his foot behind him and groaning. This started more than two years ago when I was briefly hobbled by a broken foot. Honestly, at this point I don’t think it’s funny.Another example started when we were playing a trivia game with friends. I blanked on the name of one of my favorite actresses, and ever since then he has called me “Movie Buff [followed by a slur used to insult mentally challenged people].”Those and other comments he makes about me feel like an attack on my values and personality, and they persist daily, to the point where our children (all under the age of 10) mirror ...
